March 2, 2021
Sydney Kamlager on jobs
“My aim is to help create good jobs and to nurture talent in the people who want those jobs. As your Assemblymember, I prioritize the expansion of vocational, career and technical education programs that furnish the skills needed to develop career goals and score high-wage jobs. For our district to thrive in the rapidly changing global economy, we need to cultivate new industries (technology, clean energy) and invigorate the existing ones (sports, entertainment, transportation).”
“As a candidate for City Council in Culver City I strongly advocated for raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour. We do need a higher minimum wage in the state of California, but our goal should be a living wage for all employees. As State Senator, I will sponsor living wage legislation.”
“To ensure a just recovery, I will support worker retention and rehire legislation. We can capitalize on the shift to virtual work to make jobs and opportunities more accessible to people who have physical impairments. A hybrid virtual workplace can also provide flexibility for employees transitioning back into work after maternity or paternity leave, and parents with children who require more attention to continue working while taking care of children with greater needs.
Tiffany Jones on school choice
“Children and parents have a right to the best education possible, whether it be public, private, charter or homeschooling. Currently, the California Senate, along with local officials, have been trying to implement policies that would make it more difficult for your child to have access to various forms of education besides public schooling. As your state senator, I promise to fight for school choice, giving your child more options for a brighter future.”
Ernesto Alexander Huerto on healthcare
“In the richest country in the world, it should be a simple task for our state government to gather and distribute the items needed to fight COVID-19: masks, ventilators, tests, vaccines, and much more. However, from the beginning of the crisis, these essentials of life were scarce – not because they were hard to make, but because it was not profitable to produce these items for working class people. We demand a statewide, free healthcare system to effectively combat COVID-19. Californians need an end to the for-profit health care industry, which has cost us countless lives during this pandemic.” Related Story
